May’s Daily Sketches Video & Stress Sucks

Late again.  Still dealing with house stuff.  I can already tell that even June’s video will be late but I will try my best.  I did buy a new mini tripod to have my videos be less shaky since I will no longer be holding my phone when creating the videos.  I have a gorilla pod but its too short to take a video that fits the whole sketchbook. 

Warning, I will be venting below.  If you are not interested or care just scroll to the bottom for the video or watch it on YouTube.

I’m getting pretty stressed with all this house stuff.  I was already a bit stressed before and the house stuff just made it worse. I’m an introvert, anti-social, quiet person and have been told kind of a hermit. So having all these people constantly in my house is making my stress level high. Also not being able to have my house looking clean and how I want because there are people constantly here creating tons of dust, being messy, etc is adding to the stress. Along with things taking forever or constant delays, not being able to sleep in my own room since its taking weeks for people to finish it since they disappear, don’t communicate well and aren’t timely.  As well as having my poor cats being so stressed because of all this.   

The stress is affecting my creativity as well.  There are all these art projects I had planned and nothing has gotten done.  I’m surprised I’ve been able to keep up with my daily sketches. Since when I create my sketches I tend to stare at the blank page for what seems like forever.  That does happen sometimes but usually in a half hour I got something.  Now its an hour or more.

Lately the littlest things can make me cry or get angry or both especially if its something that adds to my stress. I can’t wait for all this to be done.  Tired of dealing with everyone myself. 

As if I don’t have enough stress now I have to deal with someone who just did a terrible job. 

Sorry for the long post and venting.

Below is May’s video. You can watch it here or on YouTube.
